Nishastaga Project

Preface:

The palest ink is better than the best memory.

  The Sanskrit term, Nishastaga, entails the experience of visual disclocation upon entering a new space or territory. This same sense of displacement or disorientation may reflect upon the situation of contemporaneity and artistic practice. In light of historical distortion & our own collective frailty, I have sought to elaborate on the origins of subversion in the context of the P.R.C., with an incrued interest to address the errors’ of historical imperative. The seminal figures of the literary underground demarcated not only new forms of expression (whether with the word or the later consequence of evolutions in visual language) yet furthermore, enacted an explicit examination of the experiential beyond the parameters of predominant Occidental thought. The position of Nishastaga is an amorphic one: process preceeds determination. In lieu of the didactic I have sought to select artists’ whose work reflects upon their predecessor’s courage and tenacity, asking that each in turn contemplate on the concealed truths of time’s passage and find their own inspiration (whether in agreement or in opposition) to the pretext of the curatorial statement. The strategy is an emperical excercise to further excavate influence and offer a pronounced statement against the travesty of our era.
